Court hears from drag race victim's mother

The mother of a driver killed in a drag race along Magill Road in Adelaide's east has urged the other driver to learn from his mistakes.

Ricardo Filipe Carneiro Rocha, 24, was found guilty of causing the death two years ago of Minh Bui, 23, by dangerous driving.

Rocha also was found guilty of causing serious harm to his two passengers.

During the trial, the District Court was told that prior to the crash Mr Bui's Subaru WRX and Rocha's Nissan Skyline were driving alongside each other at 135 kilometres per hour on a single-laned section of road.

In a statement read to the court, Mr Bui's mother Phuong Bui said she hoped no other mother would have to feel the pain and loss she had endured.

She said she hoped Rocha would be given the chance to do something good for the community.
